After hip replacement surgery 3 years ago which had to be removed because of infection and several more attempts at revision, it was deemed too risky to try again. i currently have no hip and about to start P/T to strengthen what is left. I am very motivated and pray, pray, pray that I should be lucky enough to have half your success in walking. I detest having to have others do for me.

Yes I’ve had significant leg length difference. I have always worn a shoe with a lift but we had to increase it. It has been almost a year since last surgery where I was left without a hip. I’m doing very well though do need a walker. I might be able to advance to 2 canes. Still some limitations but wow after 8 years no more infections!
